Basics:
This is a huge deal, on November 2nd, 2010, Voters will vote on the Legalization of Marijuana in California or Prop 19. If passed it will allow people 21 years old or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. There are a number of positive outcomes if passed, such as aiding the struggling economy.Such as permitting local governments to regulate and tax commercial production and sale of marijuana to people 21 years old or older. Savings of up to several tens of millions of dollars annually to state and local governments on the costs of incarcerating and supervising certain marijuana offenders.





Benefits:
-Anybody over 21 could posses 1 ounce of marijuana for personal consumption.
-May grow marijuana at a private residence in a space of up to 25 square feet for personal use.
-Smoke without worrying about the boys in blue

Government Regulations:
- Local government may authorize the retail sale of up to 1 ounce of marijuana per transaction, and regulate the hours and location of the business.
-Local government may authorize larger amounts of marijuana for personal possession and cultivation, or for commercial cultivation, transportation, and sale.
-Allows for the transportation of marijuana from a licensed premises in one city or county to a licensed premises in another city or county, without regard to local laws of intermediate localities to the contrary.

Outcome:
-Create between 60,000 and 110,000 new jobs in California
-Generate between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion in new direct tax revenue annually.
-Expand California's economy by between $16 billion and $23 billion annually
-Reduce state expenditures by over $200 million in law enforcement costs for arrests, prosecutions and imprisonment of cannabis users.

If passed, i think California would prosper, tourism would increase, the economy would improve, and us stoners will finally be able to smoke without a hassle. So all you voters in California, YES ON PROP 19!!! =D

-NAS

I think NAS would also move to California .

Nah just fat.

weed is the shit.

**dopey edited this part out because I was asking for rep.**

Why not put the negatives? Plus why must people sink down to use of an illegal drug to make themselves feel better? I don't really care if it is passed or not, but if it is voted NO the pot heads better not act like the gay marrage supporters and cry that it is "unconstitutional."

so 80,000 people that smoke are suddenly gonna stop working? OK, incase you didnt know, alot of the supporters already smoke it regularly anyways, and their not quitting their jobs you moron.

Yes yes and yes legal legalize weed is cheaper

How many people do you see popping a bottle of whiskey before work? It'll be the same concept. Can't work under the influence.
So what's wrong with having a smoke after work?
I'm sure you're sitting there with a can of beer, and a fag in your mouth on a high horse saying ''I dont do drugs i'm better than you''.
Just because things are accepted in society and not prohibited doesn't mean they're ok to use all the time

If cannabis was legal and alcohol was illegal we wouldn't have violence like we do in the pubs, we wouldn't have police work as much at night clubs in the town, thus reducing work load on the police and trying to keep the drug illegal, saving both America and the UK from alcohol related violence. I've never in my days seen somebody high who wants to fight.

The money saved from this can go to cancer research, to save your sorry hypocritical life one day as 1/3 get cancer, especially from smoking cigarettes.

Also it'll prevent children from being led onto harder drugs. The dealers are the gateway, not the drug.

It's a great material for:
- Clothing
- Animal Feed
- Paper
- Medicine for the sick
- Can alleviate eczema
- Has anti inflammatory properties. Goodbye Rennies
- Building material
- Fuel
- Water and soil purification

It's very renewable and grows fast.

It will slow down or even so much as prevent global warming, it'll save the trees, it'll make lives easier, and most of all it won't affect you as an individual in absolutely any way.
So why the fuck are you bothered?
/end rant

LMAO +REP dude what you said is so correct, the revenue from all the products that can be replaced with hemp like paper is amazing, i have a documentary called the Emperor of Hemp, it talks about all these points, you my friend are absolutely correct :y:

Weed + Bob Marley= Life.

These great 2 things are so amazing.

That was great...you said everything I would have said.
